Gravitational Wave Astronomy

Resonance, 2011
Spacetime is a dynamic and elastic entity both influencing and influenced by the distribution of mass and energy that it contains. As a consequence the accelerated motion of mass and energy can generate ripples or gravitational waves in the fabric of spacetime propagating at the speed of light.

Gravitational-Wave Astronomy [PDF]

Annual Review of Astronomy and Astrophysics, 1972
The "windows" of observational astronomy have become broader. They now include, along with photons from many decades of the electromagnetic spectrum, extraterrestrial "artifacts" of other sorts: cosmic rays, meteorites, particles from the solar wind, samples of the lunar surface, and neutrinos.

Gravitational-wave astronomy: delivering on the promises. [PDF]

Philos Trans A Math Phys Eng Sci, 2018
Now that LIGO and Virgo have begun to detect gravitational-wave events with regularity, the field of gravitational-wave astronomy is beginning to realize its promise. Binary black holes and, very recently, binary neutron stars have been observed, and we are already learning much from them.

Review: the landscape of gravitational wave astronomy [PDF]

Acta Polytechnica
The direct detection of gravitational waves from a binary black hole merger has opened a new window in observational astronomy. The first three observing runs of the LIGO/Virgo groundbased interferometers have produced a broad range of scientific results, including the first observationsof a binary neutron star merger and a neutron star-black hole ...

GRAVITATIONAL WAVE ASTRONOMY

:The recent discoveries at LIGO/Virgo and pulsar timing arrays have opened a new window to study our universe: gravitational wave astronomy. These observations have shed new light on our understanding of black holes and neutron stars, teaching us about ...

Gravitational Wave Astronomy with the SKA [PDF]

Proceedings of Advancing Astrophysics with the Square Kilometre Array — PoS(AASKA14), 2015
On a time scale of years to decades, gravitational wave (GW) astronomy will become a reality. Low frequency (nanoHz) GWs are detectable through long-term timing observations of the most stable pulsars. Radio observatories worldwide are currently carrying out observing programmes to detect GWs, with data sets being shared through the International ...

Quantum metrology for gravitational wave astronomy [PDF]

Nature Communications, 2010
Einstein's general theory of relativity predicts that accelerating mass distributions produce gravitational radiation, analogous to electromagnetic radiation from accelerating charges. These gravitational waves (GWs) have not been directly detected to date, but are expected to open a new window to the Universe once the detectors, kilometre-scale laser ...

Introduction to Gravitational Wave Astronomy [PDF]

, 2021
This chapter provides an overview of gravitational wave (GW) astronomy, providing background material that underpins the other, more specialized chapters in this handbook. It starts with a brief historical review of the development of GW astronomy, from Einstein's prediction of GWs in 1916 to the first direct detection in 2015.
